This is my loft

This is the start of my loft 2015, i am a paint & decorator, started digging in March on weekends and any time i finished early from work, so i measured the gap were the loft was going and i could get a 14 x 6 foot loft. Then i got some ply sheets and 4 x 2 timber from a friend. This is what it looked like in April.I weaned the young birds in mid April and were kept in panniers, while i was finishing the loft after work. This is what the loft looked like in June 2015

Was the roof easy to do where it joins at right angles between the long and short sections? And is the ventilation only from back and front roof overhangs?This is pretty much how I would have mine, just short section to the right in my case. You made a nice job of that.

Put a beam from the back corner to the front, then put 3/4 ply and finished the roof with torch on felt.Ventilation is at the back of the loft and the left side and the front overhang.

Thanks for the comments, there is no valley in the roof, I put a clear preserver then ive stained the loft.

any info on what it was you used to treat it with, I cant get my loft up until it treat it first........I made it in log lap t&g so don't want to spoil it by painting/colouring it....want to see the wood.
